Could someone please show me how to code a timer with no limits..

For example Timer1.Interval = Text4.Text

When I type a value greater than 50000 in the text box I get a run time error..

Also how do I replace the icon on the from with text..

Thanks..

[a form with no icon + a certain borderstyle = no icon just text... if you mean the timer control, it's only visible in design time]

Using the timer, it's limited to a integer value.

Inside the timer's fire event... to increase the value... 30,000 is 30 seconds

so... if you want something to happen in say 1 min...

inside the timer's event, you have a variable to count the number of times it's executed, if the execution count is >= the desired time, you reset the variable to 0 or 1, and execute whatever you want.

ex:

' Assuming the timer is set to 30,000 Static iCount as Integer iCount=iCount+1 If iCount =2 then ' Commands to execute     iCount=1 End if
